Melissa was straight to the point and I loved that. From the first session I felt like i now had hope, something pulled me out of the fog. She helped me do that. She gave me tangible things that I could look forward to. She helped me make my own goals and stand up for myself. Very professional but also down to earth.

Welcome! First of all let me say congratulations on taking the next step to making you a better version of yourself. Therapy or counseling often come with a negative stigma in today's society but I feel it is an important and useful tool for all people. My name is Melissa Wilson and I am a Licensed Practicing Counselor in the state of South Carolina. I have been in practice for 15 years and have worked with people from all walks of life. Before going into private practice I worked in a mental health facility and worked with addictions, trauma, coping skills, with adults, teens and children. Recently my practice has focused on adults working on coping skills, mindfulness training, gender identity, and other concerns that arise. While these theories are prominent in my practice I believe that everyone is an individual and should be treated as such. While I tend to center my practice around person centered therapy, CBT and mindfulness training, I meet each client where they are that day. I am a member in good standing of the ACA. I am an active member in the autism community in my area and have worked with many parents through parent trainings and teaching them how best to cope with certain behaviors. I have also worked with staff members to avoid burnout and promote self care.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Melissa has been almost a bubble for me where I can shut off from everything and vent to somebody who is there to help instead of provide immediate and pressing solutions, she’s been a great help within my day-to-day life knowing I’ll have 45 minutes a week with her to decompress
